Materials:

• Black and yellow construction paper
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Cut a large circle out of yellow construction paper for the bumblebee’s body. You can use a large bowl as a tracer to make this easier if needed.
2. Cut a smaller circle out of yellow construction paper for the bumblebee’s head. You can use a child’s child-sized bowl or a cup as a tracer if needed.
3. Glue the smaller yellow circle to the top of the larger yellow circle.
4. Cut out four paper strips the length of the bee’s body and about 1″ wide. Glue them on the large yellow circle to make them look like stripes. Trim the ends so that they are even with the edges of the circle.
5. Cut out two black hearts for the bee’s wings and glue the pointed side of each heart to each side of the back of the bumblebee’s body.
6. Cut out a small black triangle and glue it to the bottom of the large yellow circle to make the bee’s stinger.
7. Cut out two small black rectangles (about 2″ by 1/4′) and glue them to the top of the smaller yellow circle for the bumblebee’s antennae.
